Cricut Imagine Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With all the pretty available Cricut images, I decided to use one of the Print and Cut images for this card. I never bought the Imagine machine and I am happy the images are available in Cricut Design Space. My card measures 5 1/2" x 4". 

Cricut Cartridges:

Imagine More - Rooster and chick is cut 3" high. This image used the print and cut feature. I like the pretty patterned paper look.

Songbird - Spring chicken is cut 2.65" wide x 1.04" high.

Ribbons and Rosettes - Grass Border is cut 5.25" wide x .47" high.

Classroom Feb-March - Happy birthday with balloons is cut 4.25" wide. This sentiment is used inside the card.

It is a simple card but I think it will work fine for the birthday lady who love chickens!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 178 Thinking of You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. This week, our design team sister Sue asked us to create a Thinking of You card. We all need this type of card quite often--can be sympathy, get well, thank you, etc. Thinking of you phrase must be on the card! 

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is white card stock. Patterned papers are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Spring Fling - Thinking Of You sentiment is cut 3.75" wide. Flower pitcher is cut 1.75" high. Tulips are cut 1.75" high. I really enjoy using this cartridge. It includes the pen work on the designs which adds more detail to the images. I used the Cricut Midnight Pen.

Ribbons and Rosettes - Scallop  border is cut 2.70" wide x .25" high. Added the border for the pitcher to sit on.

Using Cricut Insert Shapes, the white rectangle mat is cut 2.50" wide x 6.25" high. Purple rectangle mat is cut 2.75" wide x 6.25" high.

Phrases - Rectangle frame label is cut 4.25" wide x 2.68" high. This is used inside the card. Using Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Just a Note sentiment is written on the white frame label using the Cricut Midnight pen.

Hearts of Love

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I have been so busy trying to finish Valentine cards that I have been unable to post before Valentine's Day. Today I am sharing the Valentine card made for my daughter! Card is 6 1/2" x 5" cut from white Colorbok cardstock. I saw a cute card sketch recently at CPS-Card Sketches that I wanted to try. I did not have time until now to try it so I missed the challenge. After adding extra embellishments, this is my play with the sketch.

Designer paper is K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine paper pad. I have enjoyed working with this pretty double-sided paper for my Valentine cards this year. Guess who bought another pack of this pretty paper while it was available! You may be seeing more cards with these papers!

Cricut Cartridges:

Love Struck - Heart

Flower Shoppe - Flower

Ribbons and Rosettes - Page 35 - Heart border (White strip under the heart). I hand cut a piece of the red paper to place behind it.

I cut the small sentiment banner and stamped Happy Valentine's Day using a dollar stamp from Michael's. Red Heart gemstones were added. You can see a tutorial for the 3D Pop-up Sentiment Banner that Melanie shared at Fantabulous Cricut.

Ribbon is from my stash!

Challenges:

My Sheri Crafts Ch. 77 New Things!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! For Challenge 77, design team member Michelle chose the theme "New Things"! We are asked to include new crafting items that we may have received on our project or maybe use a new technique. I enjoyed working with a new card style technique. When you look at the front of the card, it does resemble the Triangle Trifold. However, when it is opened, you see that it is a Six-Fold Card. The inspiring tutorial can be found at SplitCoastStampers.

The base of the card is made from a 8"x 12" piece of white cardstock. Please view the tutorial to see the scoring, cutting, and folding instructions. My designer papers are from K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine that was bought last year. In fact, most of the papers are left over scraps from last year's Valentine projects.

Cricut Cartridges:

Ribbons and Rosettes - This is one of my newest cartridges and only the second time for me to use it. I love all the beautiful rosette and border cuts that are available. The Heart rosette is on page 35. It was cut at 1.50" in the Cricut Craft Room and cut 6 times.

Elegant Edges - Page 50 -Circle 2 was cut 3.528" x 3.50" from white cardstock. I used this cut for the background mat for the rosette. Same cut using pattened paper for the mat under the word Love.
Sweethearts - Page 34 - Love is cut 1.75", Page 73- Heart flowers (6 petals) and shadow cut 1.25". I used only one of the flowers cut using the shift key for the flower at top of card. It is cut at 1.75". 

Other supplies are pink inking, Stickles Diamond on the flower centers, pink heart gemstone, and pop dots for the rosette. Happy Valentine's Day is one of the dollar wooden stamps from Michael's.

After my card was finished, I realized the triangles on the card front were in different direction than those shown on the tutorial. Hmm, I turned my paper the wrong way! Well, guess I added my own little twist because it works fine for me! Because of the thickness of the layers, I chose to do a band to go around the card rather than a ribbon.

Hope you enjoy my project trying to learn a new card technique.
Now it is your turn to play with us at My Sheri Crafts. Be sure to visit the designers to see all the great projects they have created for the challenge. We look forward to seeing your projects with new items or maybe a new technique. Remember one person will be selected to be the next guest designer and several Ooh La La awards are given!

Ribbons and Rosettes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! Thanks for visiting today!

Today I am sharing my first project using the Cricut Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge! Ooh, I like this cartridge! It has so many pretty images. It took me two trips to my closest Michael's (which is over 40 miles away) to be able to find this cartridge...they did not receive any for the Thanksgiving sale. But now I have the cartridge!

My card is 6 1/2" x 5" cut from brown Bazzill cardstock. Designer papers are from the Basic Grey Eva Collection Kit. This beautiful pack was blog candy from My Sheri Crafts and I have been hoarding these gorgeous papers for over a year. Do you ever come across pretty papers that you do not want to cut?  That happened with this paper pack. However, I love all the colors and thought it would work perfectly for my project so I cut it!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Ribbons and Rosettes - Page 25 Doily, Doily Medallion and Medallion Shadow are cut 1.50". I cut the Doily feature 5 times. After gluing the 5 pieces together, the rosette measures 3" wide. The score lines on the doily cut are 3/4" apart so the rosette height measures 3/4" high. The rosette is pretty on the card, but the card will not fit in an envelope. This would have to be a personal delivery!

Nate's ABC's - Page 21- Font 1 feature is cut at .75"

Wild Card - Page 69 Congrats is cut 4.50" I hand cut the brown mat and added green gemstones in each corner.

The pink patterned border is an embellishment paper from the paper pack. I cut it to fit the brown mat. Brown ribbon is from stash!
